Christopher Ehlers READ TIME: 6 MIN.
While we believe in supporting good causes and investing in a bit of self-care every month, October is an ideal time to pamper yourself in a way that you can feel good about.
Established in 1985, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a worldwide campaign devoted not only to raising funds, but also to increasing awareness and education, particularly surrounding early detection. If you're in the market for something new in your skincare routine, consider these five options:
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum
One of the most beloved serums on the market, this isn't only Lauder's #1-selling serum, but it's one of the bestselling skincare products worldwide. Why? Well, because it does pretty much everything all in one simple step. The hero ingredient is Tripeptide-32, Lauder's exclusive, proprietary peptide that supports the skin's natural protection by day and renewal by night. This powerhouse formula has also been shown to reduce lines, firm, hydrate, even skin tone, and boost radiance. Lauder will donate 20% of the purchase price of each bottle to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. $125, Estée Lauder.
La Mer Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream
Iconic, coveted, and vital, La Mer's storied crème is at the heart of the skincare routines of the world's most beautiful faces. Filled with sea-inspired Miracle Broth and antioxidant Lime Tea, this ultra-rich formulation delivers healing moisture, daily protection, and natural repair, just on time for the cold winter months. If you've been curious about taking the La Mer plunge, now's the time: La Mer will be donating 100% from the purchase price to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. $100, La Mer.
Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream
For many, the colder months are all about ensuring our skin barrier is strong, nourished, and protected, which is why this soft cream has the potential to be a cold weather savior for so many. Boasting 100 hours of moisture after one use, this fast-absorbing cream is filled with five Ceramides plus a healthy dose of Panthenol to further strengthen the skin barrier and boost elasticity. Dr. Jart+ will donate 50% of the purchase price from the limited-edition cream to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. $48, Dr. Jart.
Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator
This Clinique classic is said to soothe the skin within three seconds, all while providing 100-hour hydration. Containing Aloe Bioferment, Hyaluronic Acid, and a blend of antioxidant Vitamins C and E, this is a great option for people with dry, parched skin that prefer a gel-like cream rather than something heavier. Even better, you can apply a generous layer and use it as a five-minute mask. Clinique will donate $10 from the sale of each tub to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. $46, Clinique.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Micro Serum
Clinically proven to deliver 72 hours of hydration all while strengthening the skin's barrier, this new release boasts a unique oil-in-serum technology that contains over 7,000 rose micro-droplets which allows for a dual approach to skin hydration. Fortified with Red Algae and Rose Centifolia Extract, this soothing serum has been proven to plump, firm, and smooth fine lines in just 14 days. Elemis will be donating $10 from each serum to Look Good Feel Better, an organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for people undergoing cancer treatment. $135, Elemis.
